Nocturne
Thursday. The spell of summer hotness continues, considerably more Scorchio! today than it was yesterday. I had a very busy morning shift, which kept me on my toes, but by lunchtime everything calmed down, and I was able to pop to Starbucks with friends to grab a flat white. It was still very hot by the time I arrived home, so I settled in my cave, in front of the fan, and literally chilled out with a cold drink. V’s off to meet her friends Dawn & Yvonne this afternoon, and Dash had a minor crisis on realising he’d lost his phone at the party last night. Luckily, a good friend found it and kept it safe until he could retrieve it.
Later, once the heat had subsided a little, I even grabbed a short nap in the garden — luxury! Clouds drew in by six and it became a lot cooler. The ballot for the 2027 London to Brighton Bike Ride opened today, so I signed up straight away; it will be the 50th anniversary of the event — a good year to do it if I’m successful in the draw.
